Hi Lara 5
I was warned that I might get cystitis but didn't - don't normally suffer with it - I did drink loads of water though.
Hope it sorts itself out soon, good luck with session 2

Hope session 2 goes well today Lara.
I too have suffered from cystitis from time to time but not with the brachytherapy. However, as I reach the end of having a pee I do have the sensation that I might be about to get it - just a little tingling but nothing more (so far). I have been drinking lots of water, like MrsBJH, and keeping a diary of my trips to the loo. Seem to average about 10 times daily, which is high but probably down to drinking at least 3 litres of fluid a day. Hope it gets better soon, it's a miserable condition.
If you're worried about it when out and about (not much chance of that currently) then you can get a card from the Bladder and Bowel Association (or an app) to show in shops if you need the loo urgently.
Take care, stay safe,
Dx
